He was the kind man you would not expect to work under the most ruthless, powerful, and fiercest business woman in the industry. He was the man who stood behind Merrylia Selene Desilvia, the woman who hacked her way to the top with her terrifyingly intelligent mind, manipulative ways, and bold braveness. She dominated with an iron fist, making men and women alike quake before her dark eyes. Step by step she is making her way to her rightful throne while a waging war surfaced before him and her.

Merrylia Selene Desilvia is the epitome of intimidation. She was richest and most powerful young billionaire who conquered the business world by storm. Her past is a mystery and so is her enemies. Trust is a rotten meat on her tongue, a word she would not apply to anyone as she fought her way to the top, not even to the gentleman who calls himself a secretary.

Qalif Loward is an open soul with a closed past. Behind his gentleness is a dark memory he tries his best to hide, even when it's catching up to him as he devotes himself to his work as a secretary; a seemingly harmless job. Qalif is about to realize that the world of trade doesn't limit itself in the four corners of the office. There is more to business than files and lunch meetings, and he might just end up being the nightmare he had once been and worked so hard to avoid.


"We both have a dark past, mine just started even before I was born."

Qalif's hand closed over Jake's, squeezing it hard. Jake looked up and finally noticed him. He tried to conjure a smirk but ended up wincing when Qalif tightened his grip. 


"Ah, I remember... You're working here. So stupid of me to forget you're a secretary now." His voice was mocking him, yet the other remained composed and merely let go of his hand. 


"I'm surprised that it took you so long to realize that." Jake's smile dropped and his jaw hardened. 


"Don't feel so high and mighty just because you're wearing suit and tie, Qalif." He snapped, his eyes drilling holes on the expressionless face in front of him. "That's a downgrade compared to the military attire and combat shoes you wore a year ago. You've stooped so low."
